Dance: Creative Dance Education

About

Our masters in Creative Dance Education programme combines theoretical learning, applied practice, and teaching placements in order to properly equip you for a career as a dance educator.

Spread over three trimesters, you will study modules that give you a deeper understanding of crucial aspects of dance such as choreography techniques, as well as the creative opportunities and challenges associated with dance in community and/or educational contexts. In addition, youll cover modules on teaching strategy in dance, and learn how to deliver dance education through workshops.

Youll have a range of opportunities to put the things youve learned into practice through two industry placements throughout the year. Both of these placements will give you the chance to work in curriculum-based and non-curriculum based settings.

Throughout this MA in dance education, youll learn key theories, concepts and practices that are vital to dance and education, as well as look into trends and current issues around teaching dance.

Youll finish this course by completing a creative research project in which youll draw on your experience as a teacher and choreographer.

Learn more about each module by reading the full course breakdown below.

What will I be doing?

Current circumstances, and potential future changes in government advice, mean that we may need to vary the methods of teaching and/or assessment during the forthcoming academic year.

TEACHING

As part of this dance education master's degree, your timetable will include a breakdown of your scheduled lessons with timeslots for you to explore your independent research interests. Your classes will be based at our New Adelphi building.

Throughout your modules, you'll learn through practical workshops, lectures, seminars, as well as being encouraged to enter into discussions with other students. We aim to ensure that theoretical learning can be related directly to your practical experiences so that you can put theory into practice.

You will be supported by staff supervision in your dance teaching/industry placements and independent research projects.

ASSESSMENT

Assessments help you to gauge how well you're grasping the concepts and techniques you're exploring on this course. You'll take part in formal and informal assignments which aim to support your ongoing personal and professional development.

You'll be assessed through a combination of performances, portfolios of creative, reflective and analytical written work, presentations, and essays.
